Says the team didn't go to the league at all. Opting instead, to sweep it all under the rug.

Not shocking in the least. Sports culture is demented. Thankfully there's now a light getting shone on all of this, though.

Yeah I read that. Makes me want to tell the Bears that they "cheated" to win their Superbowl.

I'm sure that they aren't the only team. The NFL has some serious bones in its closet. Heck, I'm sure if the door to the closet got fully opened, in addition to the skeletons that would come falling out, some ravens would probably come flying out as well.

But... But... But, protect the shield! Player safety! Zero tolerance!

Protected OJ for years. He was a known abuser. How about some busts get thrown out of Canton?

I'm sure all teams have covered lots of different offenses over the years.

Is that possible?

 

[GasBag]

What about the man that video taped himself hanging his own dog from a noose? A star NFL quarterback? Never brushed his teeth or took a shower but lived in a mansion in Atlanta?

Their everywhere.

Well, duh. People act as if Ray Rice is the first NFL player to strike a woman. This isn't something new. It's been going on since before the NFL was a league.

Yeah, about 50,000 years or so.

I call BS on the hundreds part. There would have to be domestic violence cases on a daily basis to equal "hundreds" of offenses covered up by one team. Its easy to believe the narrative stereotype that the majority of players abuse women, but I dont buy it!!!
